Top Gear host Chris Harris is leaning in to summer with a new series based on his hit YouTube show, Chris Harris on Cars – on which Chris gets behind the wheel to experiment and explore with the newest, fastest and coolest cars on the road.

The seven episode series premieres next week – follow the jump for date and time.

Matt LeBlanc has joined the cast of Top Gear – ‘the planet’s biggest car entertainment show.’

LeBlanc joins the show coming off Episodes – a show in which he starred as a ‘heightened’ version of himself. He should be a natural fit on Top Gear – he’s been a guest on the show, twice.

LeBlanc joins the show immediately, saying ‘As a car nut and a massive fan of Top Gear, I’m honored and excited to be a part of this iconic show’s new chapter. What a thrill!’ For more, follow the jump.

Arguably the most popular presenter on BBC America’s Top Gear, Jeremy Clarkson has been informed that his contract will not be renewed.

This comes as a result of ‘a physical altercation accompanied by sustained and prolonged verbal abuse of an extreme nature’ with one of the show’s producers. Follow the jump to read the BBC’s statement.
